“Standing at the ready, with a dance or two still left in me. Wager that it won’t appear that I forgot who brought me”

This album is what I wanted it to be.

I definitely pick up the theme. My favorite tune is probably the Ozark Mountain Daredevils cover. I was...

“If pressure makes a diamond, babe, I still might come out clean”

Great listen. Thanks!

How about that off season? I hate what’s happening to the sport, but the Big 12 being god damn Michael Meyers for the 8 millionth time was really satisfying after 15 years of the national media trying to bury us. As a Big 10 fan I hate this shit. I hate it too, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t r...

Shit got real.

Pumped for all of these. Gonna see Turnpike in 2 weeks in KC

I haven’t updated this a thread in awhile, but I’d imagine anyone who already gave a rip was aware of the resurrection of my favorite band this side of DBT. Great article here: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/turnpike-troubadours-new-album-cat-in-the-rain-evan-felker-interview-1234...

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230811/461fd6685cf28979642f3026147970a3.jpg Discovered this guy early in the Pandemic. Midwest dude who is equal parts Chris Knight acolyte and bar band rocker. Saw him open solo acoustic for Chris this winter. He’s the real deal. I think Clams, jr, and BK would d...

Ann Powers interview. Video is going to blow some minds. So powerful!! https://www.npr.org/2023/07/27/1190148625/tyler-childers-in-your-love-interview That interview really resonated with me. As a left of center person in rural America, there’s this sentiment you hear that you’re supposed to escape...

He put together a killer band of his own, anchored by Ken Pomeroy, a female multi-instrumentalist who is a fantastic singer and ...

At least with his live show. Seemed like he was m...

Another one I forgot

Cory Hanson “Western Cum” is making my year end list. Straightforward shredding never goes out of style.

As I mentioned a little while back in the Now Playing thread, awful name, good record.

It’s just so ridiculous/stupid I can’t help but chuckle at it

Shit, I was thinking Lucero was last year. Listened to that a lot.

Also fits your earlier descriptor.

Definitely. I might not have been as down on Lucero because I fucking loved Among The Ghosts, but their last one was my least favorite Lucero album by a fair margin.

Queens of the Stone Age - In Times New Roman I need to spend more time with this one. Along those lines, also need to dig into the new Country Westerns, Dommengang, Rose City Band and Doug Paisley. Gave the James & the Giants record a few spins and I'm not really connecting with it. Nothing earth s...

The full albums I’ve I’ve really enjoyed: Isbell - Weathervanes Natural Child - Be M’Guest Foo Fighters - But Here We Are Queens of the Stone Age - In Times New Roman All of these have one major thing in common: I had assumed all of these artists were tapped out creatively, and they all really excee...

New Natty Chile. Snortin’ that Mexican Adderall

This is a lot of fun

Car Wheels isn’t my #1, but it’s a very reasonable pick. Especially when you assume there’s at least a little desire to not put a white man at the top, and I suspect Paste is going to skew towards a more woke sensibility (I have no issue with that). For example, I don’t recall any Ryan Adams in the ...

Clams wrote:No argument from me about Car Wheels at #1. Putting this year's debut by Wednesday at 16 is ridiculous though.

Yeah, that shocked me. Forgot about that.

It’s great, but Christ, let it marinate a little.

My least favorite Hayes Carll album is the one that makes the cut, and leaving out Todd Snider and Turnpike Troubadours seems like egregious oversights, but that’s not a bad list otherwise.

If it’s been said I missed it

Edit: Apparently its about JTE

I’m just curious how you read John Prine into that? I didn’t know it was about JTE on first listen, but it was pretty clearly a young guy who
